In no other profession can someone's opinion who isn't well versed and experienced in the subject be considered valid

Thats because of the fundamental differences between sports and academics. Sports mostly require natural ability alongside practice with a little bit of intelligence. Therefore most "couch potato's" can form a valid opinion on what is required to be a good cricketer in a way that they never can for say politics or economics.

I was impressed with all three batsmen. Hadn't seen much of Rutherford or Devcich before but both seemed to time the ball pretty well. I guess Rutherford would have faced a bit of Finn previously with Otago in the nets. Good for him to get a look at Broad before the internationals start.

Interesting comments The guru about Devcich's rugby background. I hope you're right, as he seems to have some raw ability and timing.

I'm gutted the game was washed out, was looking forward to seeing Munro in action.

Nah look I wouldn't be surprised. Someone slated Devcich on another sports forum recently and it got around the Hamilton club scene that he'd done it, so someone actually is on the look out for Devcich bashing. If you don't actually play Hamilton club cricket though you just get slated on the forum itself and called a couch potato it seems.

I wish I could have all the time back that I've watched Devcich bat in First Class cricket.

Actually, thinking about it, despite having seem him bat about half a dozen times, I reckon I'd only get about five minutes of my life back.

Carry on.

Don't squander the gold of your days making a shrine of cricket videos, trying to improve the hopeless failure, giving your life away to the Blockys, the Devciches and the Weerasundaras! Surrender your devout little cricketing heart to the inured agribusinessman.
